You Are The Best

Hello crafters!  It's wisteria and white for today's colour combo.  I started by embossing a piece of wisteria card using the 3D folder called Rose Bed.  I added a thin square frame over it in white using the Double Stitched Squares.  Next I cut three of the Mallory die in white.  I crisscrossed two of them, then cut the third one in half in the centre.  I cut it down a bit smaller and put the two halves back together with tape on the back.  I added it to the crisscrossed dies horizontally.  I cut the You Are The Best sentiment in both wisteria and black card.  I used the black as an offset shadow behind it and glued it in the centre of the dies.  I added small pearls to disguise the cut line joint.  Using the Cosmos Flower set, I created three wisteria flowers using the outline dies from the set.  I assembled the flowers and attached them in opposite corners, adding white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white, wisteria and black mats and layer.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size. 

Tomorrow is the blog launch of the November die release.  It all kicks off here at 6am and I am really hoping you can join me here then!  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
I agree with everyone, this is a beautiful card. The background is so pretty it seems a shame to cover it with anything, but Mallory is such a lovely die, so I am well pleased. Hugs xxx Pauline

Today’s card is beautiful and the Wisteria and White colour scheme is a perfect choice.
The Mallory die, Rose Bed Embossing folder and the gorgeous Cosmos flowers go together so well to create this gorgeous card.

Suzzette Yandle said...

A beautiful card in wisteria and white with an accent in black. A great idea of yours to stack and rotate the center focal die cuts. I really like the pierced edges of this Mallory die cut and your flowers and leaves.

Hello Sue,

A pretty and delicate card today, both in design and in the lovely soft colors. The focal element looks sitting atop the embossed background is the perfect way to showcase it. The Cosmos Flower is my favorite at the moment.

Looking forward to your release tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day.
